Rider Break! Episode 14: Magic Kingdumb

Don't worry, I liked the movies. That title just made me laugh far, far more than it really should have.

Igadevil and Rider Break! return with new hardware, a new remix of the theme song, and a new double feature summer film to review with Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger: Gaburincho of Music / Kamen Rider Wizard in Magic Land. So it's sort of like episode 14 of the original Kamen Rider only not as exciting and with less explosions.

Plus, one more farewell to the other man who made Kamen Rider.

In This Episode:

• Rider Break! "returns" for what I swear will be the last time; from now on it will "get revenge" or "strike back". Also, we (and by we I mean I) talk about some movie.

• In a bizarre redux of last episode (which was also a long-overdue return with a movie review) I got stuffed up while recording this, and you can hear it in my voice.

But you can hear it even better, because in the time since 13 & 14 I've upgraded my microphone from a cheapo special deluxe two-in-one to a Blue Yeti! Go back and listen to 13 and hear the difference!

That said, I'm still getting used to it, and will probably be updating the arrangement as time goes by (getting a proper stand, pop guard, and so forth.) But so far, I'm very happy with it, and it's made editing much, much easier.

• Although the first few minutes of the review are "spoiler free", I do still touch on a few revelations, so if you want to go in completely unaware about plot details... avert your ears (and eyes) for the next few months. Also, I do talk about parts of a few other Rider films (Project G4, Episode Final, and God Speed Love.) And yes I know I said "ZAI-U-ranger". As this episode reveals, me have double trouble reading English good now.• BIG thanks to the following for submitting questions:

Yuican, Bueno RX, Unkamenrx, Frobman, GSavior

Sorry if I forgot anybody, and sorry to everyone whose names I horribly mispronounced. If you have further questions about the movie, fire away and I'll do my best to answer!

• And BIG apologies to:

Eric Henry

Fear not, I'll get to all your questions next episode! There's a lot to cover!
